WHAT IS YONI STEAMING OR VAGINAL STEAMING as it is most commonly referred to? It is moist heat from a steaming bowl of medicinal, magical herbs which are offer to your sacred space (vaginal opening) to open the pores of the tissues it comes into contact with. This the technique has been practiced by women from a number of regions around the world. Including ancient civilizations – East Africa, West Africa, Kusite, Khametic, the Caribbean and other indigenous places around the globe. The Yoni Purification (Vaginal steam bath or V-Steam) is a centuries-old ancient remedy which some women used after giving birth. The practice, in essence, brings the healing energy of Mother Earth to the Yoni (sacred place/divine temple of the woman). The word Yoni is the Sanskrit word for vagina (sacred space or temple). It is also used by Mayan healers & midwives, called bajos, an ancient healing practice. Bajos (ba-hoes) is a Spanish word that translates to Vaginal Steam Bath.

The Healing Process: herbally infused, water vapor carries the medicinal benefits of the plants, herbs and flowers into the vaganal passage. This is absorbed into the tissues and enters the bloodstream, having a direct healing effect on your body's whole reproductive system and sexual organs. Here at The Center (CSC) I use Ancient Blends Yoni Steam Bath, a traditional Herbal Blend used over many years. This seven herb blend works together, creating a healing infusion to nourish, tone, heal, bring in fresh oxygenated blood and promote cleansing; leaving your sacred space and uterine tissue supple and rejuvenated.

The most important thing regarding the herbs I use is that I make sure you are knowledgeable about them and I avoid those that most women may be allergic to or those that would interfere with a health condition or medication you may be taking. A recommended Consultation with me, the herbalist, holistic health practitioner and medicine woman before your session ideal, since you are unsure of the entire purpose and process. Also, I do make sure that the herbs being used are organic to avoid any exposure to pesticides and avoid essential oils as they can be overly potent and it can be difficult to discern the quality of them.

Other ways it improves health depends on the herbs that are used and the healing properties each herb brings to the table. The best time to do vaginal steaming is after your period and it is discouraged during it. You should also avoid vaginal steaming if you believe you may be pregnant. Typically vaginal steaming lasts for about twenty to forty-five minutes and care should be taken to avoid using steam too close or too hot so as not to burn or irritate the sensitive vaginal tissue.
